    Summary

    The Fates cast Percy Jackson into the past to right the wrongs that threaten the future, but he must journey back further than he imagined to stop them. He finds himself in the time of The Odyssey, where Ithaca is overrun with suitors vying for Queen Penelope's hand. The key to saving the world, to defeating Gaea, lies somewhere on Ithaca, and Percy must assume the identity of Antinous, infiltrating the suitors to find it.

    To protect Penelope and her son, Percy plays a dangerous game. By day, he mocks tradition and courts the queen with sharp smiles and hollow words. By night, he intercepts assassination attempts and secretly leads Telemachus away from ambushes he doesn’t even know he’s avoided. He is their shield and protector.

    But the queen and her son don’t see a protector. They see a threat.

    To them, Antinous is the most cunning and dangerous of the suitors. Arrogant, intrusive, and far too clever. Telemachus loathes him, believing him the sharpest knife at his mother’s throat.

    As time goes on, Percy must decide how far he’s willing to fall to save the world, and whether a hero’s heart can survive behind a villain’s name.

    Summary

    The ship came to their shores in the third year after the war ended.

    One ship, just one, and Penelope stood on the clifftop near her husband’s palace and looked down upon the harbor below, and clenched her fist in her himation until it was wrapped around her so tight that it was imprinting its weave pattern onto her skin. Just one ship, and the men she could see disembarking were too few to be fifty, and none turned to hare instantly up the hill towards her.

    Penelope turned away to head into the palace, to wait for the bad news to find her.

    (odysseus chooses to sacrifice himself, and penelope chooses not to let him go)
